Its been a while since my last post/visit here. I just looked up these threads I started years ago when I bought my 2011 LR4:

Amazingly, very little has changed regarding how I feel about LR4. I love it even more now actually
I think it is the single most capable and versatile vehicle on the market today.
Past few years of ownership were not trouble free, but it brought us so many memories and joy that we overlooked the flaws and bought another.
Our 2011 did not have an HD package, but the 2-speed transfer case has been great. I had purchased a full size spare which came in very very handy on a trip to Moab where one to the Cooper Zeons and a wheel were annihilated (Lesson: Always have a full size spare if you go off road).
Apparently LR corporation decided to remove the 2-speed transfer case as standard equipment. So I had to find a vehicle with HD package (which I did). It just made things a lot more difficult since most units come without it. They come loaded with stuff I don't want, yet missing what makes a Land Rover a Land Rover. Go figure.
I was prepared to being supremely disappointed in the V6 engine, since the V8 was sweet. But the V6 is not bad (that is as far as I'll go). This must be a cost cutting measure also, since the gas mileage is not much better than the far superior V8.
OK then. Enough complaining. Now on to a few more years of happy rover-ing.
Body-on-frame vehicles are a dying breed - so let's enjoy them while we can
Cheers!
